There is a young man
|
Driving an old man's car
|
Down the Pennsylvania Turnpike
|
Where the treetops meet the stars
|
There is a warm wind
|
Blowin' down the lost highway
|
And he don't know where he's goin'
|
It don't matter anyway
|
|
Cause the dreams pass through his mind
|
Like the years he'll never find
|
|
There is an old man
|
Night shift at the Stop-N-Go
|
He reads his dirty magazines
|
And mops the bathroom floor
|
He's lived a hard life
|
He lost a digit in the war
|
He keeps one hand on the shotgun
|
And both feet on the floor
|
|
And the old dreams fill his head
|
When he lays down in his bed
|
(Sometimes that's all you got left)
|
|
There is a pretty girl
|
Walking a yellow dog
|
Right down Dekalb Avenue
|
Where the MARTA meets the fog
|
There is a wild wind
|
Blowin' down the old railway
|
And I wonder she's goin'
|
She walks by every day
|
|
Yeah I wonder where she's goin'...
